Fallout continues over the arrest of the father of a soldier killed in Afghanistan during President Joe Biden’s state of the union address, with now even a Democratic Congressman joining the criticism.
Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips, who recently ended his campaign for the Democratic presidential party nomination and endorsed President Biden, posted on X that being the son of a fallen veteran himself, he sympathized with Steven Nikoui, father of U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Kareem Nikoui.
He also said it was hypocritical for the Gold Star father to be arrested.
“No one should interrupt a State of the Union Address, but if Marjorie Taylor Greene wasn’t arrested for her outbursts, should he,” Mr. Phillips said in a March 8 post.
